Python🐍 for Poets📚 2024
Are you ready to explore a new language? Learn to use basic Python and Python for text processing in 2 days. Just like with any other language, coding helps you create something that has not been there before. And the best part is: you can use it to handle and process textual data for your own research more efficiently.
Course requirements:
No technical skills required. We will assume zero previous experience with Python. The course is specifically intended to introduce programming to researchers involved with the arts and humanities. The course will be in English for more inclusion of both students and teachers. But we will use both German and English texts for processing. Our methods are also easily transferable to Slavic, Semitic and many other languages.
Location:
The course will take place on Febreuary 16-17, 2024, at Campus Neues Palais, room 1.09.204
If you are interested, please register until October 23. We’ll be happy to see you at the course!

Disclaimer
The name ‘Python for Poets’ is a tribute to the (old but gold) ‘Unix for Poets’ tutorial. We will not actually use Python for poetic purposes or verse studies during our course (although you will be able to do it yourself after the course, if you wish). The name Python for Poets is only there to highlight the ‘humanistic flavour’ of the course.
